A female Oriental latrine fly (Chrysomya megacephala) feeding on feces. This blow-fly species is coprophagous and necrophagous and is found throughout the world. They are considered one of the most important species of fly to forensic entomology because they are one of the earliest to arrive on a corpse.Photo credit: Muhammad Mahdi Karim
